Two hours ago,
explosions in the Metro began (hotline:
637-22-22 , 622-14-30 and 624-34-40,
list of victims ,
hospitals ,
where to donate blood ,
where to report danger ).
I watch news sites. Practically all of them (from those that I usually read) do not cope with the load and "lie", namely:
- lenta.ru - opens 1 time out of 5, in typos headers.
- gazeta.ru - opens 1 time out of 10.
- interfax.ru - initially opened with ASP errors and broken links, is now completely unavailable.
- mosmetro.ru - does not work at all
They prudently arrived at
rian.ru - if I understood correctly, they transferred the whole site to a mobile (lightweight) mode, so they give the page without delay.
News aggregators (
news.yandex.ru ,
news.google.ru ) work well with the load, but they give out information with a noticeable delay of about 10-15 minutes. Yandex initially confused the materials and included in the summary of this news information about some other terrorist act in another part of the world.
I believe that our electronic media are generally not well prepared
technically to adequately fulfill their mission at critical moments.

It is better not to look into the blogosphere - there is complete discord and wavering from tears and hysterics to a political mock in the spirit of "we said."
I express my condolences to the dead and injured.
PS: I myself and a girl drove along the red line past Lubyanka 10 minutes before the first terrorist attack, so that both are still in some shock.
PPS: I believe that normal resistance to terror acts is a normal life without fear. We must not allow terrorists to pursue their own. You can not sow panic and escalate the situation, brainwashing others. Be calm while remaining vigilant. Take care of the safety of their loved ones and should always and everywhere.
UPDATE @ 10:10 :
interfax.ru also translated the site into a mobile mode. Left only the news of the attacks.
UPDATE @ 10:19 :
rbc.ru - creaks (very slowly), but it works.
UPDATE @ 10:36 :
gazeta.ru occasionally produces a blank page with the words “500 Internal Server Error”.

GreLI, I moved the topic to the “High Performance” blog.
UPDATE @ 10:45 am :
Yandex.Probki quite promptly and intelligibly suggest refraining from traveling to the center of Moscow.
UPDATE @ 10:51 :
www.mchs.gov.ru - there is no information on the terrorist attack on the Emergencies Ministry website at all, while it is practically “lying”, which means people (many people) are trying to get there operational and reliable information. It can be assumed that the Ministry of Emergency Situations currently does not consider its function to provide such information.
UPDATE @ 11:10 : Somewhere from 10 am to the present, there are many complaints about the work of mobile communication, and not only in crowded places. About 9 am, I myself called without any problems. At about 10:30, the connection failed.
UPDATE @ 11:18 : Around 9 am,
an article on Wikipedia (via
web4_0 ) began to be created, which summarizes the essence of the events, and is being replenished promptly by the community.
UPDATE @ 11:23 :
vesti.ru give a blank page with the inscription "Dear visitors! Technological work is underway. ”
UPDATE @ 11:24 : The situation on television: "ORT -" Fashion sentence ", Russia - the series, NTV - housing and communal services, CNN - full coverage of events with video broadcasting" (from
sedictor comment ). “Channel“ RUSSIA24 ”only talks about this” (from
XolodIT comment )
UPDATE @ 11:56 : Comments commented on Twitter as a source of information on the topic:
twitter.com/search?q=%23metro29UPDATE @ 11:59 : There are no official statements on
kremlin.ru yet. Many are surprised by the silence of the President.

UPDATE @ 14:26 : A brief text of the President’s speech has been added to the
note on kremlin.ru . “A verbatim report of the meeting will be published.”

usja for the operational repost of useful information.
